CONDITIONS OF SALE 


1. The highest Bidder to be the Buyer, and if any dispute arise be- 
tween two or more Bidders, the Lot so in dispute shall be immediately 
put up again and re-sold. 


2. The Auctioneer reserves the right to reject any bid which is 
merely a nominal or fractional advance, and therefore, in his judg- 
ment, likely to affect the Sale injuriously. 


3. The Purchasers to give their names and addresses and, if so re- 
quested, to pay down a cash deposit, or the whole of the purchase price, 
at the time of sale; the remainder of the purchase price to be paid 
or otherwise settled for to the satisfaction of the Managers, on or be- 
fore delivery: Upon failure to comply with the above conditions the 
article purchased shall, at the election of the Auctioneer, be re-sold 
either immediately or within a reasonable time, and either at public 
or private sale and without notice other than that here given. 

If so re-sold, the first Purchaser’s account shall be credited with his 
deposit (if any) and the amount obtained on the second sale less all 
charges attending the same, and the deficiency (if any) shall be a 
charge against the defaulting Purchaser at the sale. 

If the Auctioneer shall not elect to re-sell an article sold, but not 
delivered for the reason above given, then the Vendor thereof may at 
his election either enforce the sale to the Purchaser or cancel the same. 

4. To prevent inaccuracy in delivery, and inconvenience in the 
settlement for purchasers, no Lot is to be removed during the Sale; all 
Lots, however, must. be removed within twenty-four hours from the 
conclusion of the sale. 


5. After a lot is sold the Purchaser assumes all risk of any damage, 
theft or loss, except that which can be charged to the negligence and 
carelessness of the undersigned. 


6. All lots are to be taken away at the Purchaser’s expense and risk. 
The undersigned will afford to Purchasers every facility for employ- 
ing careful carriers and packers. They are, however, in no manner 
connected with the business of the cartage or packing and shipping of 
purchases, and will not hold themselves responsible for the acts and 
charges of the parties engaged for such services. 


, ', Neither the Vendor nor the undersigned will hold themselves re- 
sponsible for the correctness of the description, genuineness, or au- 
thenticity of, or any fault or defect in, any Lot, nor will they make 
any warranty whatever. They will, however, upon receiving previous 
to date of Sale trustworthy expert opinion in writing that any Painting 
or Work of Art is not what it is represented to be, use every effort on 
their part to furnish proof to the contrary; failing in which, the object 
or objects in question will be sold subject to the declaration of the 
aforesaid expert, he being liable to the Owner or Owners thereof for 
damage or injury occasioned thereby.

THE MINSTREL Lae fhe 


In the roomy kitchen of some great house are gathered a number of footmen 
and other servants who happen to be off duty. Before the huge fireplace, 
where large joints are slowly turning on the spits, stands a wandering min- 
strel in motley attire, long pink coat and three-cornered hat, together with 
trunk hose and stockings of a very different period. He sings away right 
lustily, accompanying himself on a lute, neglecting the footmen and paying 
strict attention to the chef, the white-capped autocrat of the kitchen, in 
whose hands lies the disposition of the minstrel’s next meal.

Near the door of a stone-paved country church a young woman leans on 
the high back of a rush-bottomed chair, which she has tipped toward her. 
She is clad in a black bodice and skirt, looped up to show a red petticoat. 
On her head is a red cap, and a scarf of the same color is thrown round her 
neck. The pale light falls full upon her face, as she gazes with a devout 
expression at some distant object, her thoughts far from her surroundings.

Portrait of Artist 


Berore his study table an old priest is sitting, holding a barber’s basin 
under his chin. Behind him stands his barber, brush in hand, his fingers 
poised fupon his patron’s forehead. On the table lie books and an inkpot, 
while in front are a copper can of hot water and the razor with its strop. In 
the background is a wide fireplace in which a good coal fire is blazing, and 
on a stool in front a cat is contentedly warming itself in the genial heat. 
On the mantelpiece are a pair of brass candlesticks, a stuffed parrot and a 
couple of shells. A portrait of the Pope hangs on the wall, against which 
stands an old grandfather’s clock. The picture is strongly lighted from a 
window on the left, on the sill of which stands a plant in a flower-pot.

WINE TASTERS — LL NEE Eo 


ARounpD a table in the corner of an oak-panelled room are gathered three 
men of widely contrasting types. At the head of the table sits a gentleman 
in black frock-coat and trousers. His chair is half turned round, and his legs 
are crossed, as he holds a glass of white wine to the light to judge its color. 
Seated near is a man with close-cropped hair, long black coat and knee 
breeches. He leans forward, an expression of eager interest on his face, as 
he raises to his lips a goblet of red wine, some portion of whose color has 
seemingly transferred itself to his nose. Standing behind the table in a 
deferential attitude is a thin gray-bearded monk in a rough gown girt at the 
waist by a cord. He, too, holds in his hand a glass of the amber fluid, and 
against his pale, ascetic face the nose stands out tinged with the deeper 
hue of crimson.

MARCHE D’ARABES DANS LE DESERT 


Unpenr the dome of a pitiless sky the desert stretches,/flat,and monotonous, 
one level carpet of sand as far as the eye can see, a glaring yellow, shading 
into blue as the distance grows greater, and the dancing heat-haze refracts 


the varied colors. Across the centre of the picture rides an Arab on a 


handsome white horse, a long gun balanced across the peak of his saddle. 
Close behind him trudge a number of men on foot, barefooted and bare- 
armed, most of them carrying guns, but all carrying bundles, which look for 
the most part to be water-skins. In the middle distance one man trudges - 
alone, a broad-shouldered man, who bears his burden with greater ease 
and more erect carriage than his fellows. In the distance a cavalcade of- 
horsemen are riding away, the hoofs of their horses throwing up a small 
cloud of dust. In the foreground lies a shallow depression which contains 
a few inches of water, and around which grow a few sparse blades of grass.

THE NEW SHOES pena Ge ha ee 


In the workroom of a little provincial cobbler a lady stands trying on a new 


pair of shoes. She wears a long yellow dress, half concealed beneath a heavy 
black shawl thrown over her shoulders and falling nearly to the floor. She 
draws up her skirt in front and bends her head forward, as she looks down 
to judge of the effect. The cobbler, with his blue apron across his knees and 
a black cap on his head, sits at his work-table, his little boy and girl 
beside him leaning forward with deep interest in the new purchase.

A tapy walks along a narrow pathway through verdant meads bordering

petticoat, the sleeves slashed to show the white garment beneath. A crimson 

tippet is round her shoulders, and on her head a red velvet hat with a long 

plume. She pauses for a moment to pluck a sprig of flowers from a bush 

growing beside the path, and perhaps to wait for a young man who follows 

some distance behind her.

Across the front of the picture run the placid waters of a small river, in 
which are moored several flat-bottomed boats. Down the steep bank a man 
approaches with a fishing-rod over his shoulders. The scene extends over fa 
field of grain, and a meadow in which is a clump of fine trees, to the red- 
roofed buildings of a small village from whose chimneys the smoke ascends 
peacefully into the evening air. In the distance the ground rises into low 
hills, tree-crowned, affording a pleasantly diversified outline against a sky 
_which is almost entirely covered with heavy white clouds.

INTERIOR OF A BUTCHER’S SHOP alte arvhcee- 


A most interesting representation of an old-time butcher’s shop in Holland. 
A pig has just been slaughtered, and the various parts hang on hooks ranged

THE scene shows a room in the servants’ quarters of a large house in olden 


times. Groups of men-at-arms, the retinue of some wealthy nobleman, sit 
about taking their ease with pipe and wine flagon. In the centre of the apart- 
ment a folding table has been erected, on which a monkey dances to the 
strains of a pipe played by a small boy. The animal is armed with a short 
wooden sword, with which he fences with a man, the leader of the troupe. 
Close by a serving man, napkin on arm, applauds his antics, and an owl, — 
sitting on the back of a chair, nods wisely at the assembly. In the corner 
an interesting little bit of by-play is proceeding. A man, profiting by the 
absorption of his comrades, has tried to snatch a kiss from a kitchen maid, 
and has got his ears soundly cuffed for his pains. The whole scene is full of 
life and color, the expressions of the various faces are represented with great 
skill, and the effects of light and shade are handled with consummate art.

AN intimate little scene of German lower life. A small urchin, barefooted 
and bare-headed, his satchel swung at his side, rubs his eyes as he weeps most 
contritely. His little sister, a flaxen-haired maiden in red skirt and cap, leads 
him to their father, a stern-faced man, who is busily plying his trade as a 
tinsmith, seated with upraised hammer before a large block of wood on 
which are his anvil and forms. With hand upraised to her father’s chest she 
implores forgiveness for the culprit, knowing probably from past experience 
that it will soon be forthcoming. In the background, through an open door-

the fire as she casts an amused glance at the little scene before her.

THE EFFECTS OF A FALSE NOTE 


THE young marquis has a birthday! and so the floor of his spacious salon 
is littered with presents—toy soldiers, a model kitchen, and what not. A 
number of notables have called to pay their respects in the stately style 
and gorgeous costumes of the middle eighteenth century. And of course 
there is a band, a hautboy and a ’cello, a violin and a trombone. And the 
trombonist, in the kindness of his foolish old heart, has decorated the bell of 
his instrument with a fearsome dragon’s head, and proceeds to wind him a 
most raucous note, full of bellowings and the shrieks of a monster. A second 
shriek answers him, and the poor little marquis, toys flung aside and terror 
in his noble heart, flies to his mother for rescue, while horrified ladies tug at 
the poor trombonist’s coat-tails.

THE scene shows a portion of rich meadow-land, through which run the 
silvery waters of a shallow river. In the distance steep-hills enclose the scene, 
tree-covered, through which runs a deep valley. The deep green of the trees 
serves as a foil to the brighter hues of the meadow, while the sunlight, play- 
ing on the fitfully moving leaves, gives rise to an admirable play of color. 

In the foreground a number of long-horned cattle stand or lie, in company 
with a small flock of sheep. Most prominent is a fine red cow, lying with 
her back to the spectator, her head turned to show its handsome profile. 
The sun streams full upon her, and her flanks seem to heave in lazy enjoy- : 


ment of the warmth. The hairy texture of the hides, the crisp woolly fleeces | 
of the sheep, their slow, methodical movements, are all shown with the 


realistic touch of the deep student of animal nature.

BENEATH the shade of a number of trees which flank a broad alley in one 
of the public gardens of Paris is gathered a group of men. Seated in various 
attitudes on rush-bottomed chairs, they are listening with interest to a little, 
undersized fellow in black who, with hand to mouth, is retailing some 
delectable gossip about a lady who has just passed by in company with 
two men. The costumes are those of the picturesque period of the First 
Empire, silk stockings and long satin tail-coats, one old fellow being 
especially resplendent in green coat, pink surtout and tall, fur-trimmed 
hat. Just outside the circle sits a scarlet dragoon, his heavy sabre across his 
knees, his long horse-hair plume depending between his shoulders. The sub- 
ject of the story pursues her way down the path. She wears a high-waisted 
gown of plum-colored silk, cut low off the shoulders, around which is flung 
a light shawl, her attendant swains, one old and one young, both bending 
forward in earnest conversation. The green of the trees, the lofty statues 
which adorn the garden, the groups of gayly dressed people who pass across 
the little stage or sit for a while to watch, make up an animated and pic- 
turesque scene, painted with a minuteness which in no way detracts from the 
broad effect of the picture as a whole.

THE CANON’S DINNER Levys Ore ber 


A Jovi1aL monk sits at his ease in a spacious apartment, enjoying his prover- 
bial ‘‘capon fine.’’ In this instance the capon is a fat duck resting on a bed 
of succulent watercress warming over a brazier, flanked by good potatoes 
and preceded by as juicy a lobster as ever gladdened the heart of simple 
cleric. His robe of white cloth, embroidered on the chest with a cross of 
red and blue, the cow! falling in heavy folds around his ample shoulders, 
and the shoes of heavy leather, consort not ill with the rich tones of the 
couch on which he sits, propped up by silken cushions, and shaded by a 
canopy of old velvet upon which an escutcheon is emblazoned. His jovial 
face expresses the bon-vivant in every line, and the ruddy tinge of his com- 
plexion and bald pate, with its ridge of iron-gray hair, would indicate that 
the black bottle with a green seal which stands convenient to his elbow is 
not the first of its kind to stand there. Beside his table on a prie-dieu kneels 
a monk of lower degree and sanctimonious aspect, reading aloud passages 
from a heavy tome before him. The apartment in which the scene is laid is of 
high and airy aspect, the floor bare except where the reverend canon’s table 
rests on a rug of rich material. A lofty marble column supports the roof, and 
the walls are covered by tapestries rich and rare, one of which some vandal 
has cut to fit round a doorway which opens into the room on the right.

associated with the memory of one lately dead. The thoughts which the music 
awakes and the wild longing which it inspires cause her to start and turn 


away from the keys, clasping her hands as she feels the presence of one who- 


is not there, and the touch of a shadowy hand upon her shoulder is to her as 


real as though it were in truth of flesh and blood. The light streaming upon .

A most pathetic scene, perhaps the aftermath of some little tragedy in 
humble life, is shown us upon the canvas. Upon the low curb of a well, 
close under a white-plastered wall, whereon the graceful tendrils of creeping 
plants display their variegated colors, sits a young girl, scarcely grown to 
womanhood. Her feet are bare, her skirt draggled and torn, and her ragged 
bodice hardly hangs upon her shoulders. Upon her features, which under 
any other circumstances would be called undeniably handsome, is the unmis- 
takable print of insanity. Her black hair hangs in elf-locks around a morose 
and sullen face, and her eyes, suffused and bloodshot, are fixed in a vacant 
stare. In her arms, wrapped in an old shawl and wearing a dirty red cap, she 
carries a log of wood as tenderly as if it were the child she thinks it. Beside 
the poor creature stand two little children, the girl afraid to stay yet still 
drawn to her, the little boy frankly wondering. Behind her two young ladies 
cling together, their looks full of sympathy for their afflicted sister, the form 
which her madness takes making quick appeal to all their womanly instincts.

dark. O as brought in a handful of beautiful flowers, and as they

WALLACHIAN POST 


A WINTER scene in that little-known portion of Southeastern Kurope which 
is apt to be indiscriminately dubbed the Balkans. The snow lies deep on all 
the scene. In the foreground a small pool lies, coated with a thick sheet of 
ice, and in the distance on the left isa one-storied building with a low out- 
house, evidently the Government post-house. A small heavy sledge with a 
single occupant, a ihan in uniform wrapped in heavy rugs and with a rifle 
across his knee, is rapidly drawn across the scene by six plunging horses, 
harnessed four and two abreast. One of the wheelers, if such they may be 
called, is ridden by aman in a short fur-lined jacket and blue trousers, who 
urges them to wild gallop with a heavy short-handled whip, while an attend- 
ant rides a gray horse alongside. In a swirl of snow they breast a low bank 
and reach a level plain which stretches as far as the eye can see, dead white 
under a sky lowering above them with promise of a heavy fall of snow from 
out the heavy black cloud which covers it without a break from horizon to 


zenith.

RAIN ON THE HILLS, CUMBERLAND Mee ee 7 


THE scene shows a swift-flowing river running through a deep glen in the 
hilly district of Cumberland. Upon the right a narrow country road, passing 
through a thick clump of trees, leads steeply down to the water’s edge, 
and an old man is driving his cows down the bank to their drinking place. 
Beyond the trees the ground rises into lofty hills and deep-cut valleys, 
swathed in a mist of gentle rain, which conceals the sharp outlines of their 
summits and softens the harshness of their craggy sides. Overhead, heavy 
white clouds swim in a blue sky, from which the late afternoon sun streams 
down, making a beautiful play of light and shade upon the trees and the 
lower slopes of the hills, leaving the still waters of the river in semi-darkness. 
A brilliant staccato note of light on the banks in the middle distance adds 
much to the beauty of the picture.

A BRILLIANT and picturesque group of lords and ladies pass in procession 
along. a gallery hung with rare tapestries and flanked by lofty marble 
columns. They come through an open door and tread the soft pile of a rich 
carpet which has been laid to receive them. In front of the procession a lady 
in a long train of yellow satin walks demurely backward, attended by a 
flower-girl who scatters roses in the path of the advancing guests. The re- 
cipient of these honors—a squat, misshapen dwarf—stands smiling, attended 
on either hand by a pretty young girl in rich dresses of blue and gray, jewels 
around their throats and flowers in their hair. He is dressed in a long coat 
and breeches of black satin, a flowered waistcoat over which falls a jabot 
of fine lace, and a three-cornered hat worn over a powdered wig.

tunic and breeches of gray cloth, buttoned down the front and trussed with

about his shoulders. In one hand he carries his hat, in which is a large red 
plume, and from the fingers of the other depend a pair of leather gloves. 
His face, as he stands in profile to the right, is that of a man of middle

melancholy expression, but has become neither hardened and brutalized 
by warfare nor sodden with drink, as was the almost unvarying custom 


of the free lance of those days.

AN elderly man in a velvet smoking jacket is seated at a round table, with 
an open map spread before him. Triumphantly he points to a spot on the 
map and looks at his vis-a-vis, a priest in black soutane and knee breeches. 
The latter has been reading the newspaper to his friend, smoking the while, 
and turns his head to direct the smoke away from a lady who stands beside 
the older man. A teacup stands at the priest’s elbow, a dog is asleep on the 
floor, and through the window is a glimpse of the verdant foliage of a garden.

THE BATHERS Mme flee 


Deep in the leafy recesses of a wood, shaded from observation by thick- 
growing trees, and encircled by emerald turf, lies a small pool of limpid 
water. To this spot have come a number of beautiful maidens to enjoy a 
bath in its cool, refreshing depths. Some of them, their clothes cast loosely 
about their shapely limbs, stand or sit in the water, splashing the crystal 
spray upon themselves ; one, her bath over, plucks a blossom from a tree, 
and another, not yet undressed, holds in her lap a little spaniel. Between 
the tree tops can be seen a glimpse of the sky, a sky of deep sapphire blue, 
in which floats one beautiful cloud. The pool reflects the blue of the heavens 
as in a mirror; the modelling of the cloud is exquisite, and the contrasts 
of the beautiful flesh tints with the green of the trees and the colors of 
the various garments are subtle and refined. |

In an old-time Dutch kitchen a mother is rocking; her child in its cradle. On

earthenware pitchers and other kitchen utensils. Part of the walls is of dark

stretched at full length, their bodies supported on their elbows, as they 
look attentively at a girl seated a few pacesjin front of them. In a mauve 
dress and straw hat, her hair hanging in a plait down her back, she appears 
to be telling a story to her two playmates, who are healthy-looking urchins, 
well browned from a life in the open. Beyond them the level meadow

trees, and affording a diversified outline against the clear blue sky, in which 


float a few white clouds.

TWILIGHT ON THE SEINE 


THE close of a perfect summer’s day. The sun has sunk to rest behind the 
distant tree-clad hills, leaving on the fleecy clouds a delicate flush of pink 
which seems to pervade the whole sky. Across the picture runs the tranquil 
waters of the Seine, between flat green banks, well wooded and fertile. In 
the middle distance the stream bends gently to the left and disappears 
between two groups of shapely trees, their masses of deep-colored foliage 
reflected clearly from the still bosom of the waters. In the foreground a 
couple of women are washing clothes in the shallow water near the bank, 
and a small family of ducks swim gently along. The whole scene is full of — 
atmosphere ; one knows that not a sound breaks the silence, save perhaps 
the trickle of the water or the note of a passing birl, and high up in the 
limpid ether the new moon swims from behind a light wisp of mist.

_ GOING TO WORK—DAWN OF DAY 


_ THe scene shows a low-lying meadow swelling on the right into a gentle 
rise. ‘The time is the very early morning, just after daybreak. The mists of 
the night-time have not as yet been dissipated by the rays of the sun, 
and through the hazy atmosphere the distant figures of cattle and human 
beings show dimly. The principal figures of the composition are a young 
man and woman, peasants, the poorest of their kind, who pass by on their 
way to their daily toil. The woman, in coarse gray dress and soiled apron, an 
inverted basket on her head and guy ropes in her hands, plods steadily on. 
S The man, in a blue blouse, his trousers so short that they show the ankles 
‘ above his bare feet, thrust into straw-filled sabots, with a spade under his 
arm and a fork over his shoulder, walks with long, swinging strides, in the 
plenitude of his strength and vigor. The faces of these two beings are dull, 
¥ as Millet’s peasants always are; they represent simply and fully the tillers 
5 of the earth whose minds are but little raised from the medium in which 
; they work, who do not see their daily bread secure for a week ahead, but 
4 who go through their allotted task without haste and without grumbling, 
f } methodically, as though for them there could be no other life than this.

VENUS AND ADONIS Ww” ra 
On a mossy couch, deep in the bosky recesses of a forest, the Goddess of 
Love reclines. Her long, fair hair, unbound, falls rippling below her lovely 
waist, and the pink and white of her skin shows up the voluptuous curves 
of her body against the dark-green background which the trees afford. 
Seated behind her, with her arm around his shoulder, sits Adonis, his more 
swarthy skin affording strong contrast to hers, a deep blue cloak cast care- 
lessly about his loins. Their eyes seek each other’s as she presses close and — 
leans the weight of her body against him. Beside them play two cupids, one 
holding a quiver, the other restraining a pair of hounds. Through a gap be- 
tween the foliage of two trees is a peep of blue sky, cloud-covered, and a 
long vista of tree tops in every shade of green, fading to blue on the distant 
horizon. The painting is tender and sympathetic, the colors rich but subdued, 
and the poetic sentiment of the scene is expressed with great beauty.

_ ANIMAUX A L’ABREUVOIR 


At the close of a summer’s afternoon the cattle have been brought down to 
the river to drink. In the centre a young man rides an old white horse 
driven only by a halter. The cows stand ankle deep in the shallow waters of 
the little stream, while the sheep hesitate to advance, restrained perhaps by 
the farmer’s dog, which stands a few feet from the bank in front of them. An 
old woman with a stick is urging on a balky cow, and another, breast high 
in the reeds, gazes with uplifted head at her companions. Beyond the river 
grow a few willows, and in the distance the meadows stretch green and blue 
to the far horizon. 

The level rays of a declining sun fall full upon the white horse, casting 
patches of shade along his flanks and making a fine play of light and shade 
on the surrounding objects. The sky overhead is of brilliant blue, covered 
with rolling clouds, and the water reflects from its shimmering surface the 
colors of the sky and the darker masses of the drinking cattle.

In a leafy glade in the centre of the forest sits a young peasant lad, in com- 
pany with his three dogs. All around the trees grow in serried ranks, the 
dense masses of their foliage blotting out all. view of the sky, save for a few 
patches of blue seen_through their topmost twigs. Through these same 
branches the sunlight makes its way, falling upon the little group in the 
dell, dancing in broad patches and weaving fantastic patterns upon the 
silvery trunks of the trees and the moss-grown turf farther in the recesses 


of the forest. In the middle distance a mass of ruddy undergrowth shines in 


a blaze of crimson glory as it catches an errant ray, and at the end of a long — 
vista between the tree trunks shines a small patch of blue sky.

which are set a bottle of beer and a few glasses. The landlady, keys at

evidently a political caricature, while the others pay a varying amount of

the amusement, wonder and frank indifference of the others, are very well

SuDDENLY the surface of a piece of common land rises into a low hill of _ 
irregular formation shown upon the left of the picture. Its bulk is silhouetted _ 
against the western sky, leaving the nearer side in deep shadow, its edges 
clear cut against an aureole of light. A gnarled and twisted oak tree grows 
from its sides, still bravely clad in its leafy garment even after the lapse of 
centuries, although close by is the jagged stump of another oak, which has 
atilast been conquered by the passage of time and the fury of the elements. 
In the foreground two peasant women are cutting up the lighter branches of 
the fallen giant, tying them into fagots ready to be carried away. Round 
the shoulder of the hill a woman mounted on a donkey is riding away 
with her share, and another carries her bundle on her back. On the right 
the ground lies lower, and in the distance a number of fine elms grow sturdy 
and upright. The sky is covered with a mass of heavy rain-clouds, from 
behind which the failing light shines, gleaming through the foliage of the 
trees and casting a golden glow around the sharp outlines of the hillside. 
The effects of light and shade are handled with consummate skill, and the 
varying aspects of the trees and sky and earth bespeak the depth of knowledge 
and the power of observation in which Rousseau was unexcelled.

AN unusual Corot, combining the charm of tree and sky with an incident 
of every-day peasant life such as is very infrequently found among the 
artist’s work. In the centre of the picture, and the most prominent feature 
of the composition, stands a huge tree, with twisted trunk and huge limbs 
which have spread their shade for many a decade. The dense mass of its 
foliage obscures the sky, the deep green of the leaves shading off, as the 


lighter branches and twigs are reached, into feathery bunches of bluish green 
through which filters a tender silvery light. Other smaller trees grow on the 


right, and a tangle of undergrowth fills the spaces between the trunks. On 
the left, the side of a low hill has been dug away for the sake of the sand 
which it contains. A workman, buried to his knees in the shifting material, 
is busy with his spade, and a high two-wheeled cart, heavily laden and drawn 
by two horses, is just being driven away. Beyond, the low hills sweep to the 
right, and the gleam of a large body of water catches the eye. The sky is a 
light blue, covered with gray clouds, from between which the sun casts a 
pallid light, falling full upon the cart and the immediate surroundings and 
making ill-defined shadows over the rest of the picture.

THE REAPERS REST 


THE sun is rapidly sinking to its rest. The light is still upon the hillside, but 
has just left the surface of the lower-lying meadows, which are plunged in 
semi-obscurity. Upon a great heap of tares and coarse grass, which their busy 
sickles have reaped, sit a group of peasant women. In the centre a young ~ 
mother is suckling her babe, which she ‘holds upon her lap, her eyes cast 
down upon the child with an expression of maternal tenderness. On the 
ground at her feet, and on the heap of tares beside her, her companions 
watch the little scene with interest. In the foreground a girl, younger than 
her companions, overcome with toil, has sunk to sleep upon the soft grass, 
and in the distance, nestling among the green branches of thick-growing 
elms, stands the farm-house with its outbuildings and giant stacks. The last 
level rays of the dying sun stream across the hill-top and shine full upon — a 
the face and bosom of the young mother, casting an aureole of golden light 
: around the head of the sleeping girl. The play of light and shade upon the 
hill-side and the tree tops, contrasting, as it does, with the darkness of the 
meadow and the gloom under the trees, makes a delightful and effective 
piece of painting.

THE CHRISTENING 


AN animated representation of a christening feast in a small German cottage. 
Beside a table upon which is spread the remains of the meal sits the black- 
robed pastor, his straggling silvery locks framing a rugged but kindly face; 
in his arms he holds the infant, closely swaddled in its robes and blankets 
and lying on a lace-edged pillow. The pair form the centre of interest to all 
the guests. Over each shoulder lean an old man and a woman, probably the 
grandparents, and behind them stands a young girl in a red cap. By his 
knee a tiny maiden stands on tiptoe to get a peep at the wonderful new 
baby. On the right in an easy-chair, in a dress of spotless white worn over a 
pink petticoat and girt at the waist by a broad sash, sits the young mother, 
a pretty young woman still showing in her pale face the traces of her recent 
sickness. Beside her sits her husband, his eyes fastened on the child, while 
he dips a piece of bread in his teacup to feed a little girl sitting on his lap. 
A little boy with an armful of apples stands at his elbow, and in the back- 
ground are grouped other figures, old and young. The light entering from 
some window high up on the left strongly illumines the little group, bring- 
ing into prominence the white dress of the mother, casting a mellow glow 
over the faces of the pastor and the old grandparents, and showing up the 
humble but comfortable furnishings of the room.

Squadron after squadron they sweep by, a bewildering succession of blue

approach, and as each line reaches the reviewing point the order is ‘‘eyes 
left,’’ and the heavy sabres are brought to the salute. Beside the French 
general, who sits in advance of his staff, is a fair-bearded man in Russian 
undress uniform, and in the little group are several foreign attachés, British, 
German and Italian. Beyond can be seen the distant glint of line after line 
of helmets, as the army moves across the plain. The dust from the iron-clad 
hoofs rises into the still air, shrouding the green of the nearer trees as in a 
mist and concealing the more distant from view. The sun shines full upon 
the scene from out a sky over which light clouds are rapidly drifting.

Our of the smoky wrack of battle a regiment of dragoons has suddenly 
charged like a thunderbolt against the line of Prussian infantry. The latter 
has had time to form rallying squares round its officers, and receives the 
onslaught with a shattering volley, but without checking the hurricane rush 
of the Frenchmen, who are onto and into the squares, cutting and stabbing, 
their chargers breasting the hedge of bayonets which bristles before them. 
In the forefront of the charge the colonel of the regiment has just received 
his death wound and reels from the saddle, and beside him his trumpeter has — 
had his horse shot under him. On the right a number of Prussian infantry- 
men have seized a hay-cart, and from behind this shelter pour a heavy fire 
into the flank of the cavalry as they pass. Behind, the vague mass of ruined 
buildings looms dimly through the haze, their walls battered and roofs cracked 7 
under the rain of shells. The flash of the muskets, the glitter of swords and 
bayonets in the dun cloud of battle, the irresistible onrush of the iron-clad 
hoofs, the varying passions depicted upon the faces of the combatants, make 
up an impressive and awe-inspiring spectacle. One seems to hear the rending 
crash of the volleys, the clang of sword on helmet and breastplate, and to 
feel the enthusiasm of the horsemen as, mad with the excitement of the 


charge, they hurl themselves fearlessly upon the opposing foemen.

FISHERMAN’S HOME eee Derm >) 


UNDER an archway in an old fishing-town in England can be seen a glimpse 
of the sea and the houses of the town huddled around the steep and narrow 
streets. In the foreground a fisherman in red cap and heavy boots sits on 
an upturned cask, surrounded by his family, while his wife pours him out a 
glass of spirits. His catch, cod, turbot, mullet and other denizens of the deep, 
lies on the ground before him, and others hang drying on a line above his 
mw’ head. A flight of stone steps leads up to the entrance of the house, where an 
old woman stands by her washtub.

SCENE IN THE NEW FOREST ee 
DEE?P in the inmost recesses of the New Forest is a little glade, wherein a 
family of itinerant tinkers have pitched their camp and are preparing their 
midday meal. All around grow the boles of huge and ancient trees, lords of 
the centuries, their riven limbs and scarred trunks telling of their fight 
against time and the elements. The dense foliage obscures all view of the 
sky save for a broad patch of blue near the zenith, whence the sunlight falls, 
piercing the gloom and illumining here and there the trees which border a 
narrow forest pathway, along which an old peasant drives a pair of heavily 


laden donkeys.

A coupe of begging friars in torn robes and sandalled feet have called ata 


country farm-house to ask for alms. The elder of the two, a graybearded 
man leaning on a heavy staff, stands in the stone-flagged kitchen, his hand 
outstretched to receive a couple of eggs which the farmer’s wife hands him 
from her store-box. In the half-open doorway his companion stands, younger 
and with a long brown beard and broad-brimmed hat. A little boy drawing 
a cart at the end of a string clutches at his mother’s skirt as he gazes in shy 
wonder at the bearded stranger. The interior shows a few pans, dishes and 
other utensils, and on the right a window-sash covered with canvas stands 
open to admit light into the room.

THE WELCOME GUESTS 


At a table set out of doors on the terrace of a large house a merry company 
are seated. An elderly gentleman, the master of the house, in crimson robes 
occupies the seat of honor; on one side of him a girl stands fanning him, and 
on the other a page has knelt on a cushion to hand him a glass of wine. From 
a doorway on the right there enters a handsome young man, black-bearded 


‘ and of dark complexion, dressed in doublet and hose of rich black, trimmed 


with gold, and bearing on his arm a golden-haired beauty, evidently his 
bride. Her dress of rich pink silk is cut low at the neck and is worn over 
an underskirt of white linen with sleeves of fine lace, the train being sup- 
ported by a negro slave. Her fair hair is unbound and falls below her waist. 
As the new arrivals enter, the diners rise to their feet, extending their hands 


in welcome. The costumes are of that graceful Venetian moyen age which 


this painter affects. Beyond the little group is a glimpse of a castle set high 
on a wooded hill, and over all is a deep blue sky flecked with clouds which 


glow in the rays of a declining sun.

[Extract from letter of Artist] 4 


‘* VESTAL virgins condemned to death under the reign of Caracalla. 

‘* History has preserved to us the story of these two unfortunates, who 
were sisters, and who were buried alive for breaking one of their vows. The 
law that ruled this body of virgins was terrible. 

‘*They should constantly keep the sacred fire; if ectingtenee it was 
death. If their vow of virginity was violated, the awful penalty was to 
be whipped to death, or to be buried alive. Seventeen young girls, whose 


names I have collected, perished thus, and these two unfortunate heroines, — 


Aurelia and Pomponia, were of this number. I have supposed that the sen- 
tence was given in a hall appropriated for large reunions, in which the body 


of vestals were assembled. The vote has taken place. It has been unfavor- — | 


able to the two accused, and the High Priest is reading the sentence to 
them. The Mother Superior, surrounded by her attendants, forms the High 
Tribunal. All the other vestals marshalled on the steps comprise the jury, 


and the High Priest, who gives the decree of the guilty, represents the 


government. The two empty chairs in the first row bear the names of the 
condemned victims. ’”’
